Funzionalità

SEO Ultimate is an all-in-one SEO plugin with these powerful features:

Autolinks point to the objects themselves, not to their URLs, so if you change the URL of a post or category on your site, the autolinks automatically adjust.

Avoid over-optimization penalties by controlling the maximum number of autolinks added to each post/page, the maximum number of times an anchor is linked per post/page, and/or the maximum number of times a post/page can link to the same destination.

Reduce autolink frequency by a given percentage (globally or per-link) with the frequency dampener feature. (Useful for large sites.)

Choose whether or not posts can link to themselves and/or to the current URL with a few simple checkboxes.

Apply the nofollow attribute on a per-link basis. (Perfect for automatic affiliate links.)

For example, enable category base removal to convert http://example.com/category/example into http://example.com/example, and then pair that with a /%category%/%postname%/ permalink to enable some serious SEO siloing action.

The “URL Conflict Resolution” setting lets you arbitrate between pages/terms when taxonomy base removal causes their URLs to conflict

FAQ

In the “Auto Installer” box on the right, enter your blog’s URL and click “Launch Installer.”

Click “Install Now,” then click “Activate this plugin.”

That’s it! Now go to the new “SEO” menu and explore the modules of the SEO Ultimate plugin.

To install the plugin manually:

Download and unzip the plugin.

Upload the seo-ultimate directory to /wp-content/plugins/.

Attiva il plugin tramite il menù ‘Plugin’ di WordPress.

Troubleshooting

I installed SEO Ultimate and my site broke. What do I do?
If you get an error message or your screen goes blank after you activate SEO Ultimate, it’s likely because your site ran out of memory. A common site memory limit is 32 megabytes. SEO Ultimate uses only 5 megabytes of memory, but combined with WordPress and your other plugins, you may be running over the limit. Try increasing your memory limit to “64M” (64 megabytes) in your wp-config.php file, or contact your web host for assistance. (Note: The amount of site memory has nothing to do with the amount of your computer’s memory.)

I upgraded SEO Ultimate and something broke. What do I do?
If a new version of SEO Ultimate introduces a bug, you can easily revert back to the previous version you were using. Just go to the Settings > SEO Ultimate page and click on the “Downgrade” tab. (Downgrading is available most of the time, but if the new version upgraded the plugin’s settings infrastructure, SEO Ultimate won’t let you downgrade, since doing so would cause you to lose your settings. There may be other cases in which downgrading isn’t available or causes problems; it’s an unsupported feature, but should work in most cases.)

Compatibility

What’s the minimum version of WordPress required to run SEO Ultimate?
WordPress 3.3 is required. SEO Ultimate would generate PHP errors if you tried to run it on an earlier version, and so it will simply refuse to activate on any version of WordPress that’s older than 3.3.

Will SEO Ultimate work on multisite setups?
Yes. SEO Ultimate versions 7.2.6 and later are designed to work on networks running WordPress 3.3 or later.

Which browsers work best with the SEO Ultimate administration interface?
SEO Ultimate’s administration interface occasionally uses some HTML5 features. All modern browsers support these features with the exception of Internet Explorer. Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to use the administration interface with Internet Explorer, but you’ll get the best experience if you use another browser. (Note that this only applies to the browser you use. The visitors to your website, on the other hand, can use whatever browser they want.)

General FAQ

Why “SEO Ultimate” instead of “Ultimate SEO”?
Because “SEO Ultimate” works better as a brand name.

Where in WordPress does the plugin add itself?
SEO Ultimate puts all its admin pages under a new “SEO” top-level menu. The only exception is the plugin settings page, which goes under Settings > SEO Ultimate.

Where’s the documentation?
SEO Ultimate’s documentation is built into the plugin itself. Whenever you’re viewing an SEO Ultimate page in your WordPress admin, you can click the “Help” tab in the upper-right-hand corner to view documentation for the area you’re viewing.

How do I disable the attribution link?
The attribution link is disabled by default. It only appears if you enable it. You can re-disable it the same place you enabled it: under Settings > SEO Ultimate.

Click the “Uninstall Now” button and click “Yes” to confirm. SEO Ultimate’s files and database entries will be deleted.

Will all my settings be deleted if I delete SEO Ultimate in the Plugins manager?
No. Your settings will be retained unless you uninstall SEO Ultimate under Settings > SEO Ultimate > Uninstall.

Where is the Plugin Settings page?
The plugin settings page is located under Settings > SEO Ultimate.

“SEO Settings” box

Where is the SEO Settings box located?
The SEO Settings box is located on WordPress’s post/page editor underneath the content area.

How do I disable the “SEO Settings” box in the post/page editors?
Open the editor, click the “Screen Options” tab in the upper-right-hand corner, and uncheck the “SEO Settings” checkbox. Note that the box’s visibility is a per-user preference.

Why did some of the textboxes disappear from the “SEO Settings” box?
The “SEO Settings” fields are added by your modules. The “Title Tag” field is added by the Title Tag Rewriter module, the “Meta Description” field is added by the Meta Description Editor module, etc. If you disable a module using the Module Manager, its fields in the “SEO Settings” box will be disabled too. You can re-enable the field in question by re-enabling the corresponding module.

Module FAQ

Frequently asked questions, settings help, and troubleshooting tips for SEO Ultimate’s modules can be found by clicking the help tabs in the upper-right-hand corner of the module admin pages themselves.

Recensioni

Great Plugin! I make an effort to follow the latest trends on the internet. New updates and tools come out every day. I’m not a professional, but I know that SEO drives web pages to stronger positions on search engines. My sister started a gardening business for indoor plant designs and I mentioned the possibility of building her website with SEO. Her pool of clients has expanded considerably and her website position on Google has brought a lot of attention to the business.

I used to use this plugin and liked it better than Yoast too, so I built a site depending on features of it that cannot be ported and they stopped the free version and I had the option to buy pro or move to another plugin when stuff started breaking. I considered buying the paid version too, but did not, because it felt like a hostage situation. Pay, or watch the site you created fall to pieces as our plugin gets obsolete.

I don’t want to be in this place once more. If they can ditch free to promote paid, tomorrow if another plugin brings more money, they can ditch paid in favor of that too. What happens to carefully created structure on my site when the plugin becomes obsolete and starts creating problems? There is no changelog or last updated info for their paid. Not that it being published would prevent them from calling any update the last on whim.

No thanks. I would rather maintain the crucial functions I have already used on my own and move the rest of the features to an open source plugin for an open source platform.

I just deactivated my plugin and will stay un-dependent of any more such plugins
The latest wordpress update brought a video from SEO Ultimate pretending to be a News Flash from TV news, with paid actors pretending that the move to only paid version is some kind of great offer with all these benefits (gets hundreds of dollars from you, and keeps you needing more)..
The video was like one of those clickbank deceptive con artist videos, tying to make the product look as if its owned by some multi billion seo firm, when in truth it belongs to some kid in his bedroom.
This has just caused me to switch off the seo plugin. I think this is going to cause the developer to lose his public exposure by his removing of the free version. Im not staying hooked, i just unhooked myself. This product is owned by a very greedy person who is now trying to get all the free users to upgrade with his deceptive video. Should be banned from wordpress

Compatibility: Fixed minor WordPress 3.5 compatibility issues

Version 7.5.7 (August 17, 2012)

Removed Feature: Open Graph Integrator no longer falls back to using webpage screenshot images from the WordPress.com mShots service, as this was causing “Generating Image” placeholders to be cached by Facebook

Version 7.5.6 (August 13, 2012)

Feature: Rich Snippet Creator now includes an “Image of Reviewed Item” field for reviews

Bugfix: The autocomplete dropdowns of the “Link Location” boxes of Deeplink Juggernaut’s Footer Linker once again include taxonomy archive pages

Bugfix: Fixed bug that would cause a single, blank autolink entry pointing to a post to appear on the Deeplink Juggernaut Content Links list (bug introduced in 3.9)

Improvement: Module Manager no longer shows the “Hidden” option for Miscellaneous modules, since for those modules the “Hidden” option behaves no differently than the “Enabled” option

Bugfix: Adjusted 404 Monitor CSS to account for WordPress CSS changes

Bugfix: Since Open Graph articles are only supposed to have one “article:section” element but can have multiple “article:tag” elements, posts with multiple categories now have those categories listed in the Open Graph code as “article:tag” elements instead of multiple “article:section” elements, while posts with just one category continue to have that category marked as “article:section”

Removed Feature: Rich Snippet Creator no longer lets you choose between the microdata/microformat/RDFa data formats, since these have been replaced with the new Schema.org format. (Rich Snippet Creator will update all your old microdata/microformat/RDFa code automatically.)

Removed Feature: The previous version of Rich Snippet Creator was able to mark old posts as reviews if they had certain categories or tags. This feature has been removed, and old posts must now be marked as reviews manually.

Note: Rich Snippet Creator no longer has an admin page; now the module’s only interface is in the “SEO Settings” box

Change: The “Link Masks” section now appears on the “Links” tab of the “SEO Settings” box instead of on the “Miscellaneous” tab

Change: The admin pages for Linkbox Inserter, Nofollow Manager, and Slug Optimizer have been moved to the Miscellaneous page in order to reduce clutter on the SEO menu

Version 7.4 (August 7, 2012)

New Module: Author Highlighter

Generates code so that when one of your site’s posts appears in Google search results, the Google+ profile picture of the post’s author will appear alongside it

Security Fix: Code Inserter now checks for the unfiltered_html capability in addition to the manage_options capability. In other words, site administrators on multisite setups can no longer use Code Inserter. (Security Note: If any users without the unfiltered_html capability previously entered code into Code Inserter, that code will remain active even after upgrading. Network admins may want to check the Code Inserter pages of their network’s sites to ensure that site admins have not entered any malicious code.)

Bugfix: Fixed broken settings exporter (bug introduced in 5.0)

Bugfix: Fixed a bug which caused some modules’ settings to be excluded from settings export files (bug introduced in 1.5)

Bugfix: 404 Monitor’s logs are now excluded from settings export files even if 404 Monitor is disabled (bug introduced in 2.1)

Security Fix: The Uninstall tool now checks for the delete_plugins capability (whereas previously, any user with the manage_options capability could uninstall)

Security Fix: The Downgrade and Reinstall tools now check for the install_plugins capability instead of the update_plugins capability

Bugfix: SEO Ultimate now hides the Upgrade/Downgrade/Reinstall/Uninstall tabs from users who lack the proper capabilities, rather than merely aborting those functions when attempted by unauthorized users

Change: The “Plugin Settings” module can no longer be disabled by site admins when SEO Ultimate is network-activated on a multisite setup

Version 7.2.4 (June 25, 2012)

Bugfix: Icons no longer disappear from the WordPress admin menu on the Module Manager admin page

Bugfix: Deeplink Juggernaut and Link Mask Generator now handle cases in which a post, term, user, or link mask is specified in the “Destination,” “Link Location,” or “Only on This Post” boxes and then is later deleted

Version 6.9.4 (August 31, 2011)

Bugfix: Fixed mb_strtolower errors that appeared on some PHP setups (bug introduced in 6.9.2)

Version 6.3 (June 27, 2011)

Version 6.2 (June 24, 2011)

Feature: Added a “Silo Linking” mode to Deeplink Juggernaut that lets you confine autolinks to posts of the same category (or tag/term)

Bugfix: Link Mask Generator can now mask links that are created in the Visual Editor and whose URLs contain ampersands

Improvement: When the “Convert lowercase category/tag names to title case when used in title tags” option was checked and a term title had some capitalization, Title Tag Rewriter used to leave the entire term title alone; now it title-cases just the words without capitalization and leaves the capitalized words alone (so with the option enabled, the “iPod tips” category now becomes “iPod Tips” when used in title tags, for example)

Version 3.3 (June 24, 2010)

Feature: 404 Monitor can now be configured to only log 404 errors generated by search engine spiders and/or 404 errors with a referring URL (Note: this new configuration will be enabled automatically upon upgrading to version 3.3 or newer.

Version 2.3 (May 26, 2010)

Feature: Meta robots tags (index/noindex and follow/nofollow) can now be set for each post or page via the “SEO Settings” box

Behavior Change: Since the Noindex Manager’s advertised functionality is controlling the “noindex” attribute only, its behavior has been changed to output “noindex,follow” where it previously outputted “noindex,nofollow”

Version 2.2 (May 24, 2010)

Feature: Deeplink Juggernaut now has a links-per-post limiter option

Bugfix: The current tab is now maintained when submitting a tabbed form twice in a row
